Suduiraut Blanc Sec Vieilles Vignes 2024 (750ML)

93 Points, Jane Anson, Inside Bordeaux: "Bitter fennel, toasted almond and citrus peel on the opening, good depths, well structed, with white pear flesh and oyster shell salinity on the finish. Will benefit from a few years in bottle to emphasise the subtle complexities. 3.79 TA. 3.25 pH. 12% new oak. Old vines of 55 to 60 years old, fermented in oak in different sizes of barrels. 20% of overall production of dry whites." 04/25

93-95 Points, Antonio Galloni, Vinous: "The 2024 Grand Vin Blanc Sec Vieilles Vignes emerges from 45-year-old vines. Rich, textured and wonderfully deep, the Vieilles Vignes is seriously impressive. The 2024 is not quite as effusive as some earlier vintages, but that is probably a good thing for the long term. Readers will find a potent, deep white loaded with personality. Pear, marzipan, white flowers, mint and chamomile build into the deep, resonant finish. Floral notes and brisk acids resonate on the close." 04/25

91-93 Points, Neal Martin, Vinous: "The 2024 Suduiraut Vieilles Vignes Blanc Sec has a fresh nose with green apple, white peach and subtle chamomile scents that deliver great vigor and delineation. The palate is fresh and crisp on the entry with a keen line of acidity. Surprisingly strict and tensile, it has ample weight with a twist of lime and nettle on the finish. Very good potential." 04/25

92-94 Points, Jeb Dunnuck, JebDunnuck.com: "Based on 56% Semillon and 44% Sauvignon Blanc, aged in 12% new oak, the 2024 Château Suduiraut Vieilles Vignes comes from the older vines that exclusively went into the Suduiraut Sauternes. Bright lemon, a hint of gooseberry, mint, and chalky minerality all emerge from the glass, and it's a richer, slightly more lengthy, textured 2024 that's going to shine on the dinner table. I love its overall balance, and it's a versatile, outstanding white in the making." 05/25

90-92 Points, Lisa Perrotti-Brown, The Wine Independent: "Springs from the glass with spritely notes of lime blossoms, fresh grapefruit, and green mango with wafts of fresh hay and white pepper. The light-bodied palate delivers well-knit acidity and bright citrus flavors with a silkiness to the texture and a white peppery-laced finish." 05/25
